Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Praise of Hypocrisy: An Essay in Casuistry A satirist is a reformer by indirection. He has vision of the perfect life, and black against it the ever-present contrast of human imperfection. But he does not speak out his thought in unqualified prose. To avoid martyrdom in a crucifying age, or to sting a dull conscience when other means have failed to arouse it, or merely to gratify a sense of humor, he half conceals his purpose under the guise of a disinterested or amused observer. Sometimes he says the opposite of what he means, and then he is in danger of being misunderstood. The history of satire furnishes sufficient illustration of the serious purpose behind the comic mask. Rabelais, having once barely escaped life imprisonment on bread and water in a darkened cell, thereafter dodged his monkish critics by mingling caricatures of the Pope and current education with calls to drink and be merry. Fischart, a stanch Protestant in the days of the Reformation, imitated Rabelais and like him directed his satire against Roman Catholic vices. Sir Thomas More, despite the disguise of his Utopia, was at last executed for his opinions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Political Hypocrisy written by David Runciman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of hypocrite should voters choose as their next leader? The question seems utterly cynical. But, as David Runciman suggests, it is actually much more cynical to pretend that politics can ever be completely sincere. Political Hypocrisy is a timely, and timeless, book on the problems of sincerity and truth in politics, and how we can deal with them without slipping into hypocrisy ourselves. Runciman draws on the work of some of the great truth-tellers in modern political thought--Hobbes, Mandeville, Jefferson, Bentham, Sidgwick, and Orwell--and applies his ideas to different kinds of hypocritical politicians from Oliver Cromwell to Hillary Clinton. He argues that we should accept hypocrisy as a fact of politics--the most dangerous form of political hypocrisy is to claim to have a politics without hypocrisy. Featuring a new foreword that takes the story up to Donald Trump, this book examines why, instead of vainly searching for authentic politicians, we should try to distinguish between harmless and harmful hypocrisies and worry only about the most damaging varieties.

Download or read book Hypocrisy and Human Rights written by Kate Cronin-Furman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypocrisy and Human Rights examines what human rights pressure does when it does not work. Repressive states with absolutely no intention of complying with their human rights obligations often change course dramatically in response to international pressure. They create toothless commissions, permit but then obstruct international observers' visits, and pass showpiece legislation while simultaneously bolstering their repressive capacity. Covering debates over transitional justice in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and other countries, Kate Cronin-Furman investigates the diverse ways in which repressive states respond to calls for justice from human rights advocates, UN officials, and Western governments who add their voices to the victims of mass atrocities to demand accountability. She argues that although international pressure cannot elicit compliance in the absence of domestic motivations to comply, the complexity of the international system means that there are multiple audiences for both human rights behavior and advocacy and that pressure can produce valuable results through indirect paths.

Download or read book Why Everyone Else Is a Hypocrite written by Robert Kurzban and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-27 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolutionary psychology behind human inconsistency We're all hypocrites. Why? Hypocrisy is the natural state of the human mind. Robert Kurzban shows us that the key to understanding our behavioral inconsistencies lies in understanding the mind's design. The human mind consists of many specialized units designed by the process of evolution by natural selection. While these modules sometimes work together seamlessly, they don't always, resulting in impossibly contradictory beliefs, vacillations between patience and impulsiveness, violations of our supposed moral principles, and overinflated views of ourselves. This modular, evolutionary psychological view of the mind undermines deeply held intuitions about ourselves, as well as a range of scientific theories that require a "self" with consistent beliefs and preferences. Modularity suggests that there is no "I." Instead, each of us is a contentious "we"--a collection of discrete but interacting systems whose constant conflicts shape our interactions with one another and our experience of the world. In clear language, full of wit and rich in examples, Kurzban explains the roots and implications of our inconsistent minds, and why it is perfectly natural to believe that everyone else is a hypocrite.
